I bought a bike off this guy yesterday, he charged 65 euros for shipping. cheap as. He has another Dancelli which I'm sure he'll take 205 euro for. That's very cheap. with shipping about $350.00. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dancelli-12- ... 337eb37824 I hope someone is wise enough to to buy.

never seen one before, interesting that it's named spacelander, the race to the moon was on back then.also the seller says the frame is entirely made of fibreglass........I don't think so, it must be a f/glass cover over a normal steel frame

My Partner John Howland and I bought the rights to the Bowden Spacelander in the 80's from Ben Bowden and have built over 160 of them in the last 19-20 years. The originals were very fragile and did have a marked propensity for breaking on the downtube AND the front fenders.. I know about the fenders because ....well...I have sold lots and lots and lots of fenders to owners of originals to repalce their broken ones. Our continuing production started off being built initially with a very partial internal frame (1988-1990) under the fiberglass bodywork specifically to address the weakness of the Downtube and the bottom bracket area on the originals. Handling was still squirrelly like on the original and then we went to a custom made internal frame (1991-present) that gave the bike significantly more strength and better ride.

Interesting Cheers

A very nice Cliffs of Dover White 1960 Bowden "Spacelander", white fiberglass, manufactured by Bomard Industries. Excellent original condition. At a real auction (not eboy) On the 1 Dec, 2012 for US$12,250

Well...The Repco Spectra is a fairly nasty piece of work (stamped dropouts etc) and ordinarily you'd use it as a garden decoration but as a fixie candidate they're not bad (my ghetto fixie is a red/white/black spectra). It's no worse than than the Repco single speed you can buy brand new in Big W at the moment.

However, anything with a Graecross sticker on it should be melted down. They are an offense to bicycling. Pretty ambitious trying to flog those for $125 since he grabbed them for free off a verge somewhere.

So we get the leaders we deserve and we elect, we get the companies and the products that we ask for, right? And we have to ask for different things. – Paul Gildingbut really, that's rubbish. We get none of it because the choices are illusory.
